Just Dandy

Perhaps I'm looking at this all wrong, I thought to myself as I soaked away another day of tired muscles after waging war with the Dandelions.

I live across the road from the Guiness Book of Dandelion Meadows so the concept of growing a garden without a few Dandies is a bit ridiculous. This has me on the verge of a "can't beat 'em, join 'em" philosophy...

1) They're edible. We could make a case for a new vegan entree.

2) They do, after all, add bright happy color to a garden.3) If you get up close and personal, Dandies become a work of art...

So, whaddya think? If I print up a bumper sticker would you buy it and support my cause?

Hi Kate. I have to laugh, here I am going around town picking peoples dandi flowers and seed heads, so I can make oil, tinctures, soaps and have the seeds to spread on my piece of property. They are all over here, too, except on my land and I want the buggers. It is one of the most useful plants, for you and your garden, as well as for grazing animals, not to mention they are pretty. I say stop fighting um, learn about um and then employ um. Grin.

Celebrating 10 Years

Celebrating 10 Years.. of playing in the mud! :) After 10 fab years, I feel I've said everything there is to say about flowers. So, now, this blog has become a public diary for gardening, horses and... Horsing Around!
